“Miniscule production Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) from Germany’s relatively warm region of Baden. Lying just to the east of Alsace, Baden may be warm for Germany, but it’s still decidedly a rather cool climate. While global climate change is generally upending accepted notions of what grapes grow well where, the red wine industry in Germany has been perhaps the greatest beneficiary of this rather dubious development. Pinot Noir wines that were once thin and green now can be properly ripe, well balanced and delicately finessed.”
